I mean really...most strippers can't even pull off that look, what made Prince think it was the right thing to do??
no wonder she took him by surprise and asked if he was gay...
I question him hesitating and not knowing what to do, but that's a different thread...
What were/are P's poorest fashion choices...mods, we may need added bandwidth for this one, better call Ben...

I thought the blue shorts and leg warmers he was rockin' in the alternate "I wanna be your lover" video was atrocious.


It was very much like watching a PowerPuff girl come apart at the seams.

It didn't hurt him back then.

save the voice of reason for a Politics & Religion thread, you know Prince done wore some shit that you wouldn't be caught dead in...

roodboi said:

Hell, he could have worn threads I LOVE, but his hair would have been enough to make me walk the plank.

The one piece Blue Man Group onsomble, from "Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic" era.

the Colonel Sanders look on the Controversy cover was a lil' funny to me, great album tho, so any chicken abuse was forgiven...

I didn't like that big yellow suit from the Parade era.I prefer Prince in tight pants.

Rumor has it that the pantsless look came about because someone in Prince's camp (a former manager or someone) commented before a performance that he didn't like the pants Prince had on. So Prince just took them off and did his show that way.

The white lace outfit pics reminded me of Madonna, "Like A Virgin". He needed a "girl toy" belt.

U didn't like something?!


Believe it or not, that's one of my favorite pix. It was in "Essence" magazine, and it was on the cover of one of those teen mags like "Tiger Beat" or something.

I still say that damn metallic blue wet suit/body thing from the RAVE cover. Combined w/ the braids, I don't think I'll ever recover!

He looked like a figure skater with a bad hair day!

hey i got as far as this in your thread and boy we all wore crazy things in the 80s, it was cool then and for some cool again.

What was that band who sand 'wave you hands in the air like you just dont care something something wtch the people look and stare' sorry really bad quote


he wore a red codpiece over his leather jeans. oMG i was babysitting one night and it came on the telly and the little kid i looked after started crying she was so shocked.

looking back its all kinda funny


Prince has had some fab clothes ideas, theyre all sexy cool and only he could pull em off! bit like madonna gettin her bras out back then.

They reminded me of those old ladies I'd see sitting on porches when I'd go visit my Grandparents in SC, with all those damn ribbons.

i dont think any of his costumes are really that bad they all served their purpose and got him attetion when he wanted it

in all fairness, at least he didnt do this

damn, i thought this thread was about hot chicks

The bikini briefs era was his best. My only complaint is that the briefs weren't mesh so you could see through them. Other than that, it was great.

fashion police?i'm outta here.

ROTFLMAO

Hey, if John Lennon can show his dick on an album cover, why can't Prince? It definately would have been an appropriate album cover to go with his nasty image at the time.
